Alexg Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Maserati 222 SE. Bought sight-unseen off the Internet had to fly to Belfast on Xmas eve to collect it I weighed up the likelihood of sitting at the side of the road for hours & hours... and set off for home, relying on engine braking & handbrake.

outlaw118 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've always wanted a Mazzer, but don't possess enough "hero" genes, unlike yourself Sir.Welcome, and plesae continue the undoubtedly miserable, wallet-emptying tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Welcome! I pass a lipstick-red Maser like that parked on a driveway every day. I can only conclude that the owner works from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I would LOVE one of these. However i would have no chance of being able to afford to run it or have a clue about how to repair it. Cant wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Christ on a bike. I'm seriously glad I don't own a Maserati 222 SE. What I really need is a best mate who owns one instead, so I can share the good times yet be able to laugh and point at him from a safe distance when It all goes horribly wrong. Or horribly the same, for that matter. No, of course I want one really. Quite badly. You've made me go all Biturbo-ey now, and I've ended up having to find the scene in License To Kill where the villain inexplicably drives one.

Pillock Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Brilliant. Anyone fixing a Maserati engine on their driveway using an offcut of wood is a bit, well, Autoshite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Excellent stuff! I know very little about these cars, mainly due to the common comment that they're absolutely dreadful. Which means I naturally want to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-M Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 YOU MAD BUGGER. I rebuilt one of those, once. Had nothing to do with them ever since, for a reason. Well done.. love the cam locking tool. Can't remember how I bodged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaTom Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Delicious. Always loved that era of Maserati. I assumed that bit of wood was an original engine part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 From the ebay threadWhile you're sitting at the side of the road going nowhere, the car making all sorts of exotic and expensive noises and smells, you could admire the awesome hand crafted orgy of blue leather and velour. Later, as you're walking towards the nearest services you'd cast an eye back towards it, sitting there, hazard lights on, bleeding fluids into the gutter, steam/smoke still wafting from the grille and think 'I am the very essence of twat for spending money on this'. And yet, I'm still very tempted by it.Pick up your Autoshite Hero badge at reception when you come in next. A hearty welcome, and more stories please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danblez Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Wow! Sitting here with baited breath for more. Good work! Edit How rude, welcome along! I think you will like this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I saw an eighties four door Quattrofarte / Bi-Polar in a scrapyard once, as rotten as a carrot and with a 2.8 Ford V6 grafted in. A want-want situation.I stole a badge from it which I still have somewhere. Oh, and.......You hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Case Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 love the trident on the 'locking tool' +1, that is just the icing on the cake for an epic rebuild tale. Welcome, and I look forward to more 'Tales from the Trident' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBedford Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Excellent stuff! I know very little about these cars, mainly due to the common comment that they're absolutely dreadful. Which means I naturally want to own one. Agreed.....oh actually i already have an older, rustier 2.0 Biturbo.. I shall watch & read with anticipation of the day i start work on mine.......or use it for spares when i purchase an MOT'd version which will turn out to be in even worse condition.
